SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 vs Audi A1 1.6 TDI

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A1 1.6 TDI is the quicker car, covering it in 17.27 s at 80.3 mph against the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70’s 19.62 s — a margin of 2.35 s. To 60 mph the Audi A1 1.6 TDI takes 9.61 s and the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 13.28 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 or the Audi A1 1.6 TDI faster?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.27 s to the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70's 19.62 s, a margin of 2.35 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s against 13.28 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 0-60 time?
The SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 reaches 60 mph in 13.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.62 s at 71.8 mph.
What is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI 0-60 time?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.27 s at 80.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 trips the lights at 71.8 mph and the Audi A1 1.6 TDI at 80.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the SEAT Ibiza ST 1.2 70 and 9 of 9 for the Audi A1 1.6 TDI. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
